Answer:
Go to a different doctor - ear/nose/throat specialist. Tonsils don't have much of a function that anyone knows of - the infections are miserable and often go into secondary infections i.e. strep throat, mono, etc. They usually need to come out of they are infected repeatedly. I can see where they other doctor may have been trying hard to avoid the surgery - the older you are when you have the surgery, the harder/riskier it is.
Good luck!
I have a friend who just very recently got a tonsilectomy (removal of tonsils, BTW I don't think that's how you spell it) because she had some kind of growth on her right tonsil. It seems to have solved the problem.
